"Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but about the stories you tell." -Seth Godin
Much like a Google Review, a testimonial video can bypass any apprehensions your clients might have about engaging with your brand. They do this for a number of reasons.
The first reason is that a testimonial video is actually a story. Science has proven that when we are engaged in a story we tend to not only deeply pay attention but also place ourselves in the position of the hero of the story. This becomes even more of a powerful tool when the story you are telling is your client’s story. By the end of the video they will feel something deep inside themselves longing to have their needs met and to see themselves succeed in the same way as your client in the video. Notice that you are not the hero of this story but rather the guide that leads them to success by helping them solve the problem they are facing (for more on this marketing method called Storybrand click here).
The second reason being that testimonial videos build trust. This type of video allows for a neutral third party to speak about their experience with your brand and the products and services you provide. There is a reason you always check the Google Reviews of a restaurant before you go eat there and the same goes for you business. People want to know that they are going to have a good experience with you and that you will help them solve their problem in a way that leads to success.
The third reason being that it is a video.
